Before you file

1
Search the main words first
Start with “Riverstone Design” instead of “Riverstone Design LLC.” Leaving off “LLC” can help you find more similar names.
2
Review close spellings and sound-alikes
Punctuation, plurals, business endings, and small spelling changes may still be treated as the same name or too similar by the state.
3
Check restricted words and trademarks
Some words require extra approval. Also search the USPTO database and the wider web, even if the state records look clear.
4
Let the state make the final decision
Availability can change and public databases can omit pending or protected names. Only the state can approve a reservation or filing.
